The Chronicle Herald under Postmedia
Despite layoffs, Postmedia said don't expect big changes to Atlantic Canadian newspapers. Here are your changes at the Chronicle Herald:
This is the entire news section of the Halifax Chronicle Herald. Eight pages on two broadsheets.
Two of the pages are propaganda ads for Alberta energy, telling you the government is to blame for the high price of groceries and the only thing that can save you is Alberta energy.
The real front page is two stories:
Mayor becomes LG.
And a story on the top three candidates in the mayor's race that aren't even the top three candidates. Pam Lovelace who is ecstatic this morning is in fifth place. Not third.
This is the Opinion section now.
-No cartoon, the first time since before WWII.
-One propaganda piece on online journalism and local news that is bullshit.
-And an opinion piece on how Nova Scotia should use Alberta, yet Alberta again, as an example of cost cutting in education. No mention of the drawbacks to charter schools.
[Charter schools in Alberta are publicly funded but operate independently, which some argue diverts resources from public schools. Critics worry they can be less accessible, potentially excluding disadvantaged students, and may lack accountability since they operate with more autonomy. This competition can strain public schools by reducing enrollment and funding. Charter schools also have more flexibility in hiring, raising concerns about teacher job security and pay. Overall, the debate reflects broader ideological divides, with some viewing charter schools as undermining the universal public education system.]
-No cartoon, the first time since before WWII. <---- Well, that bites!! Life is complex enough without a wee bit of brevity in our newspapers.

Indeed, Whole of hypocrites - Conservative slant.
Based on my experience teaching in state and charter schools, I’ve observed a significant difference in accountability. Charter schools often operate with less oversight, which raises concerns about maintaining consistent educational standards and support, especially for students with specialized needs, such as those in the Deaf community.
On Election Day in 2015, Stephen Harper’s campaign posted a front-cover Yellow Stain ad in National Post newspapers across Canada: "Vote Liberal will cost you." Harper lost and made a big fool of himself. I can't believe how much money Conservatives spend and waste on it. It's disgraceful. They are going to do that again this time. Ugh!
